The Mercedes guy who sold me eggs is an advocate of the high court. His kids will not eat pride. Courts are not operating as they should.

The prado guy is a real estate guy. A holder of a land economics degree from UON.

All the three guys above have something in common. They are professionals who have accepted that these are extraordinary times. They decided to change with changing times. To lead the way in showing that extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. They have faced times head on.
Before we feel so important and exhibit pride, I invite you to read about JEFF BEZOS, OPRAH WINFREY AND the founder of KFC.
Please delete the numbers of all the friends who have told you that ” unachoma picha” …Anyone who thinks that your present hustle is ” beneath standard” and does not pay your Bill’s. Loose that pal. Today, the IT professional above, the Lawyer and land economist are on a road. Not only are they selling, they are also giving out their business cards with tomorrow in mind. They all met me, a lawyer, mediator and motivational speaker, we even spoke of future possible engagements.
Please dust yourself on this day. Swallow some pride, leave the house, hustle like a drop out.

Uhuru said the ICT interns will support the ongoing digital programme being implemented by government to support home learning.

The additional teachers to be hired will now bring the total employed this year to 15,000 as the Teachers Service Commission already received Sh3.2 billion to recruit 5,000 on permanent and pensionable terms and 10,000 teacher interns.

Overall, to ease teachers’ workload occasioned by high enrollment in primary and secondary schools, TSC had projected to employ 40,000 teacher interns at Sh4.8 billion.

TSC also requested to hire another 25,000 new teachers at Sh15.4 billion.

In his address to the nation yesterday, the President hinted at plans to critically assess reopening of schools. Parents have maintained that schools should not be reopened until Covid-19 is cleared.

Kenyatta said the road map to resume learning was being developed and asked parents to be patient.

“I want to assure them in the very near future we shall be communicating extensively on this as discussions are ongoing between parents, teachers and head teachers on the programmes we have for the education sector,” he said.
The statement comes as the deadline to submitting proposals on schools’ reopening to the Covid-19 Education Response Committee lapsed Friday.

Application deadline is set for June 30. Helb announced that for the very first time, subsequent loan applications will be done seamlessly through the Helb App.

The government sends capitation of Sh30,000 to all TVET students annually. In addition to this, Helb sends each student Sh26,000 and another Sh14,000 for upkeep.

For university students, the figure was revised from Sh43,000 to Sh68,000.

University placement

Thousands of students who sat last year’s KCSE will know courses and universities they have been placed in when the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) releases the results at the end of this month.
Some 125,746 candidates met university entry grades and more than 350,000 qualified for diploma and certificate courses.

Helb Chief Executive Officer Charles Ringera said Sh7.6 billion has been allocated to support 196,613 continuing students, who are expected to submit their loan applications.
Another Sh4.7 billion will be made available for 110,250 first time applicants to universities and colleges.

“This will bring the overall 2020/2021 budget for undergraduate students to Sh11.2 billion, with the balance funded from loans recoveries,” said Ringera.

This means that the board must recover another Sh1.1 billion to plug the deficit.

Mr Ringera said some 61,000 Kenyans who benefited from the loans were yet to start making payments.

However, he said 160,076 loan accounts valued at Sh24.5 billion, which had matured for payments, were already being serviced. Data shows 752,327 Kenyans are yet to complete servicing their Helb loans. This translates to Sh93.6 billion, which must be recovered by the lender.

By start of this year, some 1,000,907 Kenyans had benefited from the loans. This translates to some Sh113 billion spent on the students. Only 215,778 beneficiaries have cleared their loans of about Sh21.5 billion, Ringera said.

4. The Braggart: Spends most of the lesson bragging how bright they were in school, what they’ve accomplished and how they’ve helped relatives. They teach half the lesson.

5. The StoneFace: Wears sura ya kazi always. Their classes are mostly full and quiet due to fear. Has all loan apps on their phones.

6. The Latecomer: This one left college when Kenyatta was still president. They go to class 10 minutes late but leaving is not easy; students have to drop spoons when lunchtime is ½way through.

7. Multitasker: Stops lessons halfway to attend to some personal errand; maybe a baby they left in the school kitchen or staffroom, answer a call from a relative in the US…most lessons end prematurely.

8. The Comedian: They could have joined Churchill Live but somehow they ended up in Kiswahili or History lecture rooms. They don’t teach maths. It’s not easy to find a funny maths teacher.

9. Miss OCD: They suffer from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. They can’t touch the duster lest they cough their intestines out. They carry 4 handkerchiefs, wet wipes and tissue.

10. The OCS: This one could have joined the Army and fight for Kenya in Somalia. Somehow they found themselves in college and now they teach Biology and Chemistry. They’re the Discipline Masters.

11. Diet Expert: This one sneezes a lot and doesn’t eat most of the school meals. Knows the importance of pumpkin and cord liver oil. She carries her water and charger.

12. The IT Expert: All digital devices and problems wait for him. He supports Manchester Utd or Arsenal. He’s always in debt.

13. TSC Agent: Has the TSC Code of conduct booklet, knows all the announcements but he doesn’t own a smartphone. If he has one his WhatsApp is obsolete or no bundles.
